emerald intelligent access terminal
One of the most innovative products in the CEM portfolio is the emerald intelligent multifunctional IP access terminal that provides more at the door.
The first of its kind, emerald is a Touch Screen Reader, Door Controller, VOIP Intercom and System Terminal all in a single terminal. The innovative touch screen LCD is the first of its kind to ‘greet’ cardholders by illuminating as they approach, providing a user friendly security experience.
For the first time, security professionals can use remote apps at the device to update personnel records, book meeting rooms, and even send important messages to cardholders such as Wrong Door, Lost/Stolen Card, Expiring Card and Access Granted. emerald also acts as an information point by displaying general company information and audible prompts to enhance user experience.
The latest release offers even more enhanced emerald functionality including the new Image on Swipe mode. With Image on Swipe mode, emerald will display the cardholder’s image for verification and will grant or deny access on the basis of this verification. This feature allows for an additional security level, where personnel photograph can be immediately verified at point of entry.
These leading edge remote apps display real time information and statistics that can be used by specific card holders, security personnel and maintenance engineers to quickly and accurately access the information they need directly at the door without having to go to the AC2000 client PC.
With advanced IP reader and controller functionality in one device, emerald communicates directly to the AC2000 host server using Ethernet connectivity, removing the need for an additional controller in the system design. The terminal has a large internal database enabling it to operate in offline mode should communications be temporarily lost with the host server.
emerald can be used at sites where a traditional access control reader is used, such as schools, hospitals, airports, ports, casinos and many more; anywhere that requires the highest level of security to ensure the safety of employees, the public and the site. With features such as VoIP Intercom, Threat Levels and Scramble Keypad for PIN access, security can be heightened at restricted areas e.g. hospital pharmacies, air traffic control tower, or increased if the site is on high alert.
As an intelligent device emerald goes beyond securing premises, it empowers users and helps improve business operational efficiency.
